Abstract: A non-contact sensing system for measuring and analyzing an object's position, motion, and/or resonance utilizes optical capturing of image features, data extraction, and signal processing to determine changes in the object's motion or position according to changes in signals, which are associated with the excitation of photons due to the object's motion.

Abstract: A method and system for storing and evolving hydrogen (H2) employ chemical compounds that can be hydrogenated to store hydrogen and dehydrogenated to evolve hydrogen. A catalyst lowers the energy required for storing and evolving hydrogen. The method and system can provide hydrogen for devices that consume hydrogen as fuel.

Abstract: Mixing individualized media content. When individualized media content is generated from separate media clips or files, mixing the separate media clips includes controlling the audio. The volume of the audio in each clip is determined and normalized with respect to other media clips as the individualized media content is mixed. This provides a consistent audio experience even when the media content is generated from multiple sources having different properties. When more than one track of audio is present, such as voice audio and background music, the volume of one track is lowered such that the other audio track is audible. The volume of the background music, for example, is reduced such that the subscriber can hear the instructions in the voice audio.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a web-based interactive fitness program for generating individualized fitness media content for subscribers. A database is maintained that includes scriptlets that identify exercise routines that have been provided or augmented by a trainer. One or more of the scriptlets are selected for a subscriber based on the subscriber's information. The selected scriptlets are then compiled into media content that is streamed to the subscriber for use. Various devices associated with the subscriber may provide real time input to the database while the subscriber is experiencing the media content. In response to the real time input, new scriptlets may be selected and modified media content may be streamed to the subscriber for use.

Abstract: Generating individualized media content using selectable content from subject matter experts. A knowledge base includes content from various subject matter experts. Methods defined by subject matter experts are associated with media clips. A subset of methods are selected from the knowledge base according to subscriber attributes. The subset of methods is distilled by applying rules. The resulting methods are organized using a template. The clips associated with the methods in the template are then mixed together to generate the individualized media content that is then delivered to the subscriber. Subsequent media content can also be individualized using the subscriber's attributes, which includes feedback from prior media content.

Abstract: Generating serialized media content for a subscriber. A subscriber has access to a database that includes content from multiple subject matter experts. A subset of content is identified based on the subscriber's attributes. Specific content from the subset of content is then selected and used to generate individualized media content. The subscriber can then provide feedback that is used to generate subsequent instances of media content. The feedback is used to identify another subset of content from the database that accounts for the subscriber's feedback.

Abstract: Generating navigable media content. A knowledge base stores content from multiple sources including subject matter experts. Specific content is identified from the knowledge base using attributes of a subscriber. The specific content corresponds to media clips that are mixed to generate individualized media content. The media content is then formatted with navigable elements that enable a user to navigate and perform the media content in a manner that is determined by the subscriber. The navigable elements may include chapter marks, or a menu that can be presented on the subscriber's device, for example.

Abstract: Collecting content from subject matter experts. A knowledge base includes common content that can be used by SMEs to define a philosophy. A user interface present filtered portions of the common content and provides for direct entry. The content input by the SME is stored in the knowledge base. Individualized media content for use by a subscriber can then be generated by searching for content such as media clips having attributes that match the subscriber's attributes. Further, the content input by the SME can be modeled such that individualized media content can be dynamically generated to account for the particular situation of a given subscriber.

Abstract: A method and system for creating customized programs for individual requirements from a collection of prerecorded segments, which facilitates the creation of the program based on individual information and responses to specific inquiries to create a program which meets the interests, objectives and behavioral models appropriate to the user. This invention includes the capability of allowing the manual rearrangement and sequencing of the segments and produces a program, which is compatible with standard video and multi-media players. This invention makes use of Internet connected devices to collect information and to distribute compiled programs.

Abstract: The invention is a new electric-contactor suitable for application to electrically driven apparatus, such as model trains, wherein electricity that is available to a train car's wheels can now be further conducted by low friction rollers located between the train's wheels and a train car; thereby reducing friction and eliminating the drag and wear from carbon brushes presently utilized for this purpose, and thus enabling greater efficiency in the overall operation of the train, or other mobile apparatus.

Abstract: A method (FIG. 1) for utilizing a voice-command based network platform to record and deliver outbound voice messages, and request and deliver a voice-recorded response back to the sender at the urgency and location requested by the sender. This is accomplished by using voice recognition, telephone keypad, or GUI to identify recipients, specify the time, date, frequency and duration of delivery attempts, and interface with recipient to secure a response.
